Dahlia ‘Tartan’ will make an excellent addition to any gardener’s collection, known for its stunning red and white tartan-like petals and its long-lasting blooms. It grows up to 1 meter in height, making it a great focal point in any garden or patio and is suitable for both borders and containers.

When planting, it is best to position the bulbs in well-draining soil in a sunny location. The Dahlia ‘Tartan’ prefers to be kept moist, so ensure the soil remains hydrated, especially during hot weather.

Keep the plants well watered during growth. Either lift tubers after flowering and store free in dry compost or particularly in warmer areas, cover with a mulch over winter.

For early flowering, tubers may be started off in boxes in April; use a light soil mixed with compost. Keep slightly moist, cool and free from frost. When danger of frost has passed, plant out the sprouted tubers. For the best results deadhead regularly to encourage fresh blooms. If used as a cut flower, only cut when completely developed.

With its striking appearance and low maintenance requirements, it is an ideal addition to any garden or patio. So why not add some colour to your outdoor space with this striking and versatile plant.
